Bobcat has added the T300 tracked loader to its UK range joining
the existing T200. The new compact loader has an operating weight
of 4.2t, a 1.4t lift capacity (35% tipping load) and is powered by
a 58kW four-cylinder Kubota diesel engine.
Shod with 450mm wide rubber tracks, the T300 is under 2m wide, has
a ground bearing pressure of 28.3kPa and its high-drive rear
sprockets keeps most of the drive system out of the mud. Its
vertical lift arms hold a 2,032mm wide bucket which reaches a
maximum lift height of 3.21m (50% higher than the T200).
The machine comes with the Bob-Tach system and there is also a
high-flow (110.5l/min against 70.8l/min) version especially suited
to attachments like cold planers and chippers. Bobcat's Advanced
Control System, which allows the operator to swap between hand and
foot control, is an option.
In addition to the tracked loader, Bobcat has also added a wheeled version (the S300) which has the same lift capacity but is slightly lighter at 3.66t. Driving through a two-speed transmission it offers maximum speeds of 11.6km/h and 20.1km/h.
